lol was Bournemouth also the place the Saliba chant was introduced?

HaleEndGrad@lemmygrad.ml · 4 pts · 2y

Kai doesn't really get any service in the box

Saka should have chipped it over into the box instead of giving it to Rice

Already so sick of this ref

@Astrealix ngl, I was about to post about the fans calling the ref a wanker. Then he gave us the pen 😎​

Astrealix@lemmy.world · 1 pts · 2y

Ahhh that's who they were chanting about, I couldn't catch the name

Astrealix@lemmy.world · 4 pts · 2y

Who the fuck made Tomiyasu so good

DeathWearsANecktie@lemm.ee · 4 pts · 2y (1 reply)

Good idea to get Kai on a pen. Needed a goal

Astrealix@lemmy.world · 2 pts · 2y

Just like when we did it with I think Lacazette a few years back? Hopefully Havertz does good with it

No idea who he is but Rothwell looks like such a stereotypical white guy

Astrealix@lemmy.world · 3 pts · 2y (1 reply)

Now I'm annoyed I put Saka on the bench cuz I thought he wouldn't be fit to play XD

Astrealix@lemmy.world · 1 pts · 2y

On the bright side I have Watkins and Diaby lol

HaleEndGrad@lemmygrad.ml · 3 pts · 2y

wolves 2-1 up

throbbingpens@lemmy.world · 3 pts · 2y

Such a cool penalty Odegaard

sensiblepuffin@lemmy.world · 3 pts · 2y (2 replies)

This ref is a joke man

Astrealix@lemmy.world · 3 pts · 2y (1 reply)

Besides the Havertz yellow I feel liek he's gotten basically everything wrong

sensiblepuffin@lemmy.world · 1 pts · 2y

So essentially he's gotten everything we've done right and nothing Bournemouth has done right. Sounds correct

sensiblepuffin@lemmy.world · 3 pts · 2y

AHAHAHAHA I JUST SAW THE CITY RESULT

ironeaglebird@lemmy.world · 3 pts · 2y

A little too desperate defending there

Astrealix@lemmy.world · 3 pts · 2y (1 reply)

Vieira coming on for Saka I'm guessing?

coygsu@lemmy.world · 1 pts · 2y

Yeah, finally

This depth genuinely brings a tear to my eye... I used to dream of times like this

Gingerrific@lemmy.world · 3 pts · 2y

Hopefully that gives Kai the confidence boost he needs

HaleEndGrad@lemmygrad.ml · 3 pts · 2y

long-haired Mourinho doesn't exist, he can't hurt you

LotrOrc@lemmy.world · 3 pts · 2y

If arteta could maybe make a fucking sub when we're 3 nil up and saka clearly needs a break it would be amazing

HaleEndGrad@lemmygrad.ml · 3 pts · 2y (1 reply)

Holding is seconf choice at Palace too

currently leading Utd 1-0

Astrealix@lemmy.world · 2 pts · 2y

You mean third choice lol

coygsu@lemmy.world · 3 pts · 2y (2 replies)

Clear pen

ironeaglebird@lemmy.world · 5 pts · 2y (1 reply)

As clear as they can get

throbbingpens@lemmy.world · 2 pts · 2y

100% penalty. In real time I thought Aarons got the ball for some reason.

Astrealix@lemmy.world · 3 pts · 2y

Saliba mwahhhh

coygsu@lemmy.world · 3 pts · 2y (1 reply)

lmao broo Saka is injured, yet not a single sub is ready

Astrealix@lemmy.world · 3 pts · 2y

Tbf we have no wingers on the bench besides Nelson lol, Vieira will do fine though

coygsu@lemmy.world · 3 pts · 2y

LFGOOOO BEN

coygsu@lemmy.world · 3 pts · 2y (2 replies)

I wanted to rest half these players in this lineup but, here we are.

Astrealix@lemmy.world · 1 pts · 2y (1 reply)

I wouldn't go that far, only think Saka and Nketiah need rests tbh. Would've liked to see Ramsdale but that's not a rest that's a drop

coygsu@lemmy.world · 1 pts · 2y

Lens, City, Chelsea, Sevilla is a tough stretch. Bournemouth and Brentford were the best matches to rest players.

coygsu@lemmy.world · 3 pts · 2y

Ref needs to take control of this match before halftime

Astrealix@lemmy.world · 2 pts · 2y

Jover booked again lol

coygsu@lemmy.world · 2 pts · 2y (1 reply)

NOOOOOO EMILE

Astrealix@lemmy.world · 2 pts · 2y

ironeaglebird@lemmy.world · 2 pts · 2y

ironeaglebird@lemmy.world · 2 pts · 2y

Nice pass from Neto to Raya

coygsu@lemmy.world · 2 pts · 2y

FFS REST SAKA!

Astrealix@lemmy.world · 2 pts · 2y

Ahhhh ESR noo

Should be a yellow on Sanesi tbh

Astrealix@lemmy.world · 2 pts · 2y (2 replies)

Astrealix@lemmy.world · 1 pts · 2y

Gotta use Dyche black magic

Astrealix@lemmy.world · 2 pts · 2y

Wonder when we see a sub off for Saka, cuz surely it's gotta happen at some point in the second half

Astrealix@lemmy.world · 2 pts · 2y

Astrealix@lemmy.world · 2 pts · 2y (2 replies)

Astrealix@lemmy.world · 1 pts · 2y (1 reply)

Havertz woulda scored that

Astrealix@lemmy.world · 1 pts · 2y

I know we're 3-0 up but that doesn't mean we're done ffs

ironeaglebird@lemmy.world · 2 pts · 2y

Finally! A relaxed win. I've been pacing around at the end of each of our league matches before this

HaleEndGrad@lemmygrad.ml · 2 pts · 2y (2 replies)

Astrealix@lemmy.world · 1 pts · 2y (1 reply)

Need Martinelli

HaleEndGrad@lemmygrad.ml · 2 pts · 2y

Ode seems stiff just when he's about to make the final ball

Astrealix@lemmy.world · 2 pts · 2y (2 replies)

I miss Martinelli man

ironeaglebird@lemmy.world · 1 pts · 2y (1 reply)

He always puts in a shift.

Astrealix@lemmy.world · 1 pts · 2y

More than that I just like watching him dribble lol

coygsu@lemmy.world · 2 pts · 2y

Astrealix@lemmy.world · 2 pts · 2y

HaleEndGrad@lemmygrad.ml · 2 pts · 2y (3 replies)

mikel my man what about the subs

ironeaglebird@lemmy.world · 1 pts · 2y

ESR

Astrealix@lemmy.world · 1 pts · 2y (1 reply)

Calma, it's only in the early 60s still, he never makes them til like 70 lol

LotrOrc@lemmy.world · 2 pts · 2y

Yeah but it's idiotic of him Saka plays whether or not he's injured we've won this match just take him off. Absolutely no reason he should have been on after the third.

Arteta needs to learn to use his subs. Once we get to the tail end of the season and he hasn't played any of them for 90 percent of the season he then expects them to come in and be match fit and ready?

Astrealix@lemmy.world · 2 pts · 2y

Warnock should pull a Holding back 5 and win the game lol

Astrealix@lemmy.world · 2 pts · 2y (1 reply)

Is it me or is Raya making some passes that feel like they'd be really good if he actually had a player where he passed to lol

Astrealix@lemmy.world · 1 pts · 2y

It's weird cuz there's more than one where it's like, a long through ball that would be good but then it ends up directly with the Bournemouth players

HaleEndGrad@lemmygrad.ml · 2 pts · 2y (1 reply)

Zina has definitely upgraded his defensive performance this szn

coygsu@lemmy.world · 1 pts · 2y

So far, his defending weakened in the later half of the previous season.

Astrealix@lemmy.world · 2 pts · 2y (3 replies)

Neto is saving their asses so hard

Astrealix@lemmy.world · 3 pts · 2y (2 replies)

This could legit be 6 with a worse keeper

Astrealix@lemmy.world · 2 pts · 2y (1 reply)

It's weird to say the Gk is the best player when you're 3-0 down but Neto has been great lol, the defenders letting him down.

sensiblepuffin@lemmy.world · 1 pts · 2y

There was a point not too long ago where we'd say/see that every other week. I'm glad we live in the good times.

HaleEndGrad@lemmygrad.ml · 2 pts · 2y

Kai just gave the ball away twice in the span of 1 minute

HaleEndGrad@lemmygrad.ml · 2 pts · 2y

okay okay okay and might I add okay

HaleEndGrad@lemmygrad.ml · 2 pts · 2y (1 reply)

my hopes rest on Wolves and Luton

HaleEndGrad@lemmygrad.ml · 2 pts · 2y

I'll never repeat this

ironeaglebird@lemmy.world · 2 pts · 2y (2 replies)

I'm torn. A draw between Shit and Liverpool would be best for us but I want Liverpool to put 18 past them

Astrealix@lemmy.world · 2 pts · 2y

I don't want Liverpool to score 18

I want them to score 150 and break the record

Gingerrific@lemmy.world · 1 pts · 2y

It's going to be a good game. Im guessing Liverpool just knick it late 3-2.

Astrealix@lemmy.world · 2 pts · 2y

Rice being like "Jesus what you doing mate"

Astrealix@lemmy.world · 2 pts · 2y (4 replies)

Zinny??

ironeaglebird@lemmy.world · 1 pts · 2y (3 replies)

He's been putting in some less than average performances lately

Astrealix@lemmy.world · 1 pts · 2y (2 replies)

He's been good tbh, just with a few extremely random errors every so often

ironeaglebird@lemmy.world · 1 pts · 2y (1 reply)

More like less than his average. Wonder if he's still feeling an injury

Astrealix@lemmy.world · 1 pts · 2y

Eh, he's always had a mistake in him tbh; makes up for it well enough

ironeaglebird@lemmy.world · 2 pts · 2y

Let the goals flow now from Kai

Astrealix@lemmy.world · 1 pts · 2y

Who's the wanker? Can't hear it lol

ironeaglebird@lemmy.world · 1 pts · 2y

Aw Kai was wide open in front of goal

coygsu@lemmy.world · 1 pts · 2y

I wanted the Irish commentators. Their criticism and praises were accurate. Now I have the PL match commentators, who are too neutral imo.

Astrealix@lemmy.world · 1 pts · 2y (1 reply)

Wonder if we eventually see a Havertz pen just to shut up the haters and give him confidence

coygsu@lemmy.world · 3 pts · 2y

If he misses, it is worse for his confidence. He needs his goal from open play. He's been the weakest link today.

Astrealix@lemmy.world · 1 pts · 2y (1 reply)

Wolves are ahead .... maybe????

Astrealix@lemmy.world · 1 pts · 2y

Also Luton have a goal against Everton

Gingerrific@lemmy.world · 1 pts · 2y (1 reply)

Don't blame Eddie for taking a shot there. Very nice turn and run though.

Astrealix@lemmy.world · 2 pts · 2y

I do, Havertz was easily able to score there

Astrealix@lemmy.world · 1 pts · 2y

Just keep the clean sheet

Astrealix@lemmy.world · 1 pts · 2y

That was good from Tomi and Gabriel there

Astrealix@lemmy.world · 1 pts · 2y

Neto is saving them

Astrealix@lemmy.world · 1 pts · 2y (1 reply)

Everton's got one back

ironeaglebird@lemmy.world · 1 pts · 2y

Everton deserve to go down if they hand Luton their first win.

Nah but legit his finger was bandaged there lol

Astrealix@lemmy.world · 2 pts · 2y

Maybe raised that middle finger at someone too much lol

coygsu@lemmy.world · 1 pts · 2y (1 reply)
